Greg Oden?

[Fear the Putin]

Was in our training camp years ago, and yes, passed through Golden State a few years back so = no brainer.

We need anybody who will hustle and try on defense, so its similar to the Sam Young idea, why not? But I'm sorry for the apologists, this whole thing feels absolutely exactly like the Maloofs never left. The league moves, we appear to sit and do nothing and try to pick up bargain basement filler players out of the scrap barrel just to say we are doing something.

Lety's cross our fingers on Oden. At least picking him up would be interesting, if likely ineffectual in the end.

well to be fair, we don't really have capspace to sign anybody out there aside from the minimum guys at this point. So, unless we do some heavy moving (which I sincerely hope we still will) to clear some space, we will be relegated to this, for this season at least.

Well, at least the duplicative size we've collected is slightly greater than in years past...by like 5 inches!

Why not then try for a little variety with our minimum salary guys? Even the rumor that we're going after LA doesn't mae feel any better...not sure PDA really gave his current roster a look before this offseason. Don't you usually strip down before you build up?

LA to Sacramento was a rumor or a trade scenario that a blog site drummed up? This is the first I have heard of any LA rumors.

don't know where you heard about LA, but that would be idiotic. Proclaim DMC as your franchise guy and then take away half of his touches down low.

LA probably means Louis Admundson in this setting.

Actually in ANY setting.

It sounds like Greg Oden has made his free agency decision. Announcement coming soon.

Mark Titus ‏@clubtrillion

FYI Just got off the phone with Oden. He's made a decision. Just finalizing things now. I'll break the news when he gives me the go-ahead.

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA

NBA executive who attended Greg Oden's workout: “He’s moving very well. You can tell that he has worked very hard to get to this point.”

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA

Teams understand that Oden will have to be eased back into NBA. The hope is that a limited Oden is still better than most reserve big men.

Well.

We still have the Room Mid-Level exception available to us, which is a little over 2.5 million. Other than that, we'd have to buy out Hayes or someone else.

Marc J. Spears ‏@SpearsNBA_Yahoo

Free agent center Greg Oden will sign with Dallas Mavericks, source tells Y!

Um....what?

 

[Bricklayer]

Um....what?

They missed on Howard, missed on Bynum. This is their last big gamble to try to magically salvage the summer/end of Dirk's career.

Onto L.A. for us!

 

[Mojo]

Um....what?

Whoa. That was out of nowhere. Thought for sure it would be the Heat.

He is the Joe Kleine of this generation.

 

[Mojo]

Um....what?

Nevermind... That's a fake twitter account Darth.

 

[Kingfanpaul]

Um....what?

Is this legit? I only ask because I don't see that on Marc Spears twitter feed.

edit: doh, missed the message right above mine.

Didn't realize...sorry for the false alarm.

My bad. I was on my phone, thus, too lazy to type it all out. Sorry for all the chaos.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Twitters saying Heat. 2 year minimum deal with 2nd year player option.

If that is the case, this was all a big dog and pony show.

RT @GoodmanESPN: Greg Oden will sign with Miami Heat, source told ESPN. Two-year with player option for second year.

Surprise, surprise.

You could/should have just typed out Lou. Only one more letter, and all the great ones are one namers.

 

[steelevt]

So oden is out, mozgov is out...what was our plan c? Cole?

Free Agents
Cole Aldrich
Hadaddi

via Trade
Gortat
Asik

I say trade for Gortat if DMC really wants to and can play PF.
The Polish Hammer + DMC is probably the closest tag team to Vlade/CWebb. LOL

Gortat would make our front court really good, both could post up and shoot from 15ft I don't know if we have the young talent needed to get him but we'd have to start with thorntan a PP.

GOD, no. Other than being 7'4, that guy shouldn't even be playing basketball. He's a total, complete, and utter scrub.

Hmmm.

If we cannot make those good shot-blocking bigs to come to Sacramento, I'll sign Haddadi for one year. At least this guy looks like Divac (with that beard).

CWebb/Divac - Cousins/Haddadi.

lol

But but but.. His per36 is = 3 blocks and 10+ rebounds a game! And last year he was 12+ppg 12+rbg 4.5bpg!!!!!

Ok.. I was joking.. I agree with Darth, I don't want that guy anywhere near the Kings. He's a scrub.
